INTRODUCTION
Ah, the Big Apple. The city that never sleeps struggles to catch even a wink due to menacing thugs and an unhinged genius named Baxter. He’s perpetually scheming something wicked, and who better to handle this mess than four shell-tastic siblings? In the 2013 3DS game “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” you’ll navigate through NYC as these brothers, switching between them on the fly and using their signature weaponry and fighting styles. And if you think the game’s a cakewalk, think again; you’ll need to knock out a bevy of baddies as you make your way through increasingly more complex levels, upgrading your turtles with spanking new Ninjutsu skills.
UNIQUE CHARACTERS WITH DISTINCT WEAPONRY
Let’s talk turtle power! Regarding weaponry, it’s no one-size-fits-all affair in the turtle world. The 2013 edition of this reptilian romp lets you control all four brothers, each brandishing their iconic weapons. You’re in for a combat treat, whether it’s Leonardo’s dual katanas, Michelangelo’s nunchaku, Donatello’s bo staff, or Raphael’s twin said. Each turtle brings a unique set of fighting skills to the table, making every button mash a tubular experience. Forget about using the same strategy for each turtle; you’ve got to switch up your game to make the most of each weapon’s capabilities.
SWITCH BETWEEN CHARACTERS BECAUSE WHO WANTS MONOTONY?
Who wants to be stuck as one turtle throughout the game? Not me, and not you. The game’s seamless character-switching feature is a clear winner, letting you hop from one brother to another in real time. This is more than just a novelty; it’s a crucial strategy element. You can initiate a synchronized tag-team assault or strategically alternate turtles to utilize their unique abilities when most needed. The dynamic allows for endless tactical possibilities, ensuring the game never gets stale. Trust me; you’ll want to use all four turtles to deal with Baxter’s sinister designs.
RAMP UP THE DIFFICULTY; LET’S NOT MAKE IT EASY!
If you thought you’d waltz right through New York City without breaking a sweat, you’ve got another thing coming. The game’s difficulty scales progressively, throwing more enemies at you with each level. You’ll face an increasingly challenging army of foes who require your A-game to be defeated. But the good news? Your turtle characters also gain XP, becoming more robust and skillful as the game progresses. So please don’t shy away from those battles, as they’re your ticket to leveling up and learning new Ninjutsu techniques!
UNLOCK THE NINJUTSU SKILLS BECAUSE NORMAL IS BORING
Why settle for standard turtle moves when you can unlock a range of kick-butt Ninjutsu skills? The 2013 3DS game lets your turtles level up and unlock some seriously rad abilities. Whether it’s mastering advanced fighting techniques, learning new defensive moves, or unveiling area-of-effect attacks that clear enemies in a snap, leveling up adds depth to the game. These Ninjutsu skills are the cherry on top of your turtle sundae, giving you that extra punch (or kick, or nunchaku swing) when you need it most.
THE CITY NEEDS SAVING, AND YOU’RE JUST THE TURTLE FOR THE JOB
The city of New York is in chaos; no, ordering a pizza won’t fix this one. Between dodging thugs and battling Baxter’s machinations, you’ll also be tasked with various city-saving missions. These aren’t mere distractions; they’re integral to your turtle-saving journey. Whether disarming bombs or rescuing hostages, each mission adds another layer to the plot. So besides nailing the art of combat, you’ll need to embrace your inner hero to ensure NYC goes back to being a city that—well, at least pretends to—sleeps.
With iconic weapons, a seamless character-switching mechanism, escalating difficulty levels, unlockable Ninjutsu skills, and city-saving missions, this game is a shell-shockingly good time! Cowabunga, dudes!
